Filmed at Compton Verney in Warwickshire in 2019, jewellery specialist Susan Rumfitt examines a Victorian bee brooch passed down through generations of one family. With a clever spring mechanism that allows the jewel to move as if alive, these insects motifs became so fashionable during the Victorian era. But just how much could this remarkable heirloom be worth?
Well in these delightful comments from Compton
Verney we've seen pathways
dwellers and dwellings
a fierce dragonfly swarm
was swarming and
then we came across something utterly beautiful
That's the thing about this
Tell us about it
So here's the thing
but I mea
It can also be
used to design
footpaths and is provided
My Belgian
relatives who are
also Belgian
live in Wales
She was born in 1900
and unfortunately she
was due to arrive when she was 37
In 1937 my mother was
around her six children
Yes This brooch was
given to my mother
My mum gave
this brooch to me Oh how
beautiful It's very
important to have it
What's that It's true
It dates from the
1860s to the 1870s and it's excellent work
and yet as we can
see when
you come in
It's a
wall And it's being placed
on this impossible wall
that deals with society
We'll see it here
And it works exceptionally well
when they're given
as easy ornaments
Otherwise you will be given them
at the beginning of your mountains
and as you go
on there will
be a gap or a
ledge sometimes
They would also be sent
away the shelf would
be shelved in the shelf and the Victorians would
after seeing
anything to do with the
board and the frame I
think things are
would involve the
stage being set up and
the stage being prepared
during that period
Did you really
push him I did push
him just a little bit around the area
My colleagues have also been
given theirs Yes
do you have yours
Would it better as a frame or as a backdrop I never appeared to present
it as a backdrop
Otherwise I thought he was going to leave and
then I'd
I was just giving it as a gift We don't want
that This is the real gift
what we're
saying is that the
harness is
attached to the back
only as the environment has been made here But the confrontation
from the outside
It's also very beautiful
We have a diamond
on the dresser
and on the water by the bed there
The wardrobe is in
the room It looks extremely
cluttered but it's
actually quite organized
pync eithaf ffyrdd going through that as well
And so first of all
f you think it's amethyst it's actually
about garnets
and the garnets
coming in various different ways
During the recent discussions about the bee
this had just recently
during the roads
related to the Be due to
the connection with
Napoleon and the fac
He has used the
badge as his emblem
It is also associated
with the industry
It was practical
And the methods related to the Be were the methods related to the Be in the industry
Felly eto everything is connected to
theme of the paths
Felly it's very
interesting and it's very
interesting that it's come forward today
It's interesting what
you said about Napoleon
since I happen to know that my ancestor
Very interesting indeed—
Napoleon Really Yes And in
terms of value
something like this in circulation
Today he would be
working to handle £

Thank you very much
That's very interesting
Thank you very much
